Resources for Commercial Cattle/livestock Operators and Commercial Farmers with 40+ Acres

Ag Pass Program

Ag Pass: hours of operation from 7AM to 9PM. Mel Graham is available by phone/text (805) 896-6681 for anyone who needs a pass.

Ag Passes are for ranches over 40 acres to intended for farms and:

• Protect or care for agricultural assets (such as irrigating crops or feeding, watering, and transporting livestock)
• Provide support information to emergency personnel (such as identifying access roads and water points)

The purpose of creating a county-based "Ag Pass" program is to provide a uniform way to identify vetted commercial farm and ranch owner-operators and their employees to firefighting personnel, California Highway Patrol officers, Sheriff's deputies and other law enforcement officers, and other emergency personnel. Possession of an Ag Pass during a wildfire or a similar disaster (or, "all-hazard" emergency) potentially allows the agriculturalist limited emergency access to areas that may otherwise be restricted to the public.

If you are in the evacuation warning areas and need a temporary Ag Pass, please visit: https://www.countyofsb.org/293/Ag-Pass.

For small herds, small livestock, and equine evacuation please see the Animal Evacuations section.

Numerous firefighting air tankers from throughout the State are flying fire suppression missions as conditions allow.
